Hello Jelle,

I intentionally use the quotes, because I strongly agree with the FSF that "commercial" is a word to avoid (http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html#Commercial ). FLOSS can be commercial, but I don't agree with David Wheeler that it's (almost) always the case. It's too much a spin on words and definitions if you ask me.
Would anyone here disagree that software is commercial as soon as people are paid to develop it?
Does anybody here see a difference between the amount of - commercial non-free software and commercial Free Software or - non-commercial non-free software and non-commercial Free Software?
The only advantage in this case: you know that people have no clue about Free Software when they use commercial software as an antonym to Free Software.
Regards, Matthias
